IRS Commissioner Mark Everson ordered a review Tuesday of a tax-fraud detection program criticized for freezing thousands of refunds without notifying taxpayers.

Everson said the tax agency will soon announce new procedures to advise taxpayers when a refund has been frozen.

The agency will also revise its fraud screening procedures so that it withholds fewer refunds owed to innocent taxpayers.

National Taxpayer Advocate Nina Olson criticized the program in her annual list of the worst problems facing taxpayers. Her office, which helps taxpayers resolve disputes with the IRS, handles more frozen refunds than any other issue.

A study of those cases found no evidence of fraud in two out of three instances.

Lawmakers said the IRS needs to take more care to prevent innocent taxpayers from enduring long delays in receiving a refund, and Everson said critics raised legitimate complaints.
